A London, Ohio, couple and their 13-year-old twin boys died yesterday when the Jeep in which
they were riding was broadsided by a station wagon that ran a red light at a Madison County
intersection, troopers said.

Two members of the family were killed immediately and a third died shortly afterward at the
scene, Madison County Coroner James Kaehr said. A fourth family member, a male, died at Madison
County Hospital shortly after arrival, Kaehr said.

The family was identified late last night as Thomas Bunsey, 61; his wife, Paula Bunsey, 57; and
13-year-old Lawrence and Thomas, all of the 6800 block of Van Wagener Road in London.

Mr. Bunsey was driving the Jeep south on Rt. 38 when it was struck by the eastbound station
wagon at the Rt. 40 intersection, about 2 miles north of London, at 5:25 p.m. yesterday, the State
Highway Patrol said. The Jeep went off Rt. 40 and overturned. The station wagon's front end was
mangled.

The only survivor of the crash was the driver of the station wagon, Donald C. Murray, 76, of
Koebel Avenue on the South Side. He was flown by helicopter to Ohio State University Medical
Center, where he was in critical condition last night.

There is a traffic signal at the intersection. The patrol said Murray failed to stop for
the red light.

Though it was overcast, there was a break in the weather during the late afternoon when the
crash occurred, with the temperature hovering near 70 degrees.

The Madison County Airport and Molly Caren Agricultural Center are located near the
intersection.
